I remember when I went to the States to study close to 10 years ago, one of the things that I look forward to was a particular brand of cookie. At the time this favorite cookie hasn’t hit the local market, but I’ve already heard quite a bit about it. It was among my first purchases from a supermarket at the States, together with essentials like pillow and toothpaste.

The cookie actually did play an integral part of my university life. I used to have it while watching ball games with friends on tv, while studying for exams and feeling hungry late at night, or whenever I was too lazy to go to the canteen. It was the perfect meal replacement that is actually tasty and doesn’t even require a microwave!

So you can imagine how glad I was when I found out that they have brought this cookie to Malaysia when I came back from my sojourn to the West.

Well, old memory aside, I am sure you know there are many ways of consuming cookies, but how about the opposite? Here I present you some wrong ways of eating cookies

not so great with bak kut teh

First, the cookie doesn’t go very well with bak kut teh soup. Despite the fact that I am an avid bak kut teh eater, the attempt to fuse the two did not come out very well. I dunked it in the soup, took a bite, but the sweetness of the cookie just didn’t gel very well with the herbal taste….

Then there’s the oily vegetable that I put in between my cookies (together with the cream), failed. The mushroom experiment didn’t go very well either. Not only they didn’t taste quite right, I was getting weird stares at the restaurant, oh well…

fried cookies with garlic and fuyu

My second experiment was the fried cookie. The ingredients were simple enough, garlic, fuyu (fermented tofu), oil, and of course the cookies. I heat up the oil, added garlic, cookies, a bit of fuyu, and fried for a couple minutes.

The taste? Well you guessed it, it was pretty weird. I think you can sorta guess it from my expression in the photo. =/

cookies curry soup

Not to be discouraged, I then proceed to the 3rd and final experiment, cookies curry soup! This time around, the recipe is even less complicated. Water, curry powder, and cookies! I boiled the water, add curry powder, and dropped a couple cookies in the soup.

How did it taste like? Well, I think the photos did justice to the taste. I’m not going to elaborate more.

At the end, I went back to the basic, cookies with a glass of cold milk. Twist and dunk, it was best!

So, don’t try to be too clever with the whole thing, and please excuse me while I go and clean up my kitchen. Thank you!

p/s: This is not a sponsored post nor any specific cookies implied. Experiment at your own risk.

Instead of just frying the cookie, try this. Make a batter, dip the cookie in the batter then deep fry. Should taste ok, after all they do it with Mars Bars in Scotland and twinkies in the US. Can you try and let us know…
